The air vent and the door handle are entirely manufactured in France. They are manufactured in a traditional way, nevertheless, the design of each element composing the two accessories was carried out by computer with a 3D software. The design and prototypes were realized throughout the study under the control of "Le Corbusier Foundation". From this design have been made the foundry tools for the aluminum casting of each piece.

Here the 10 main production stages

1. Gravity casting in shells
2. Deburring and polishing

6. Engraving characters and ideograms by Laser Fiber
7. Quality control engraving
